    How dangerous ang ochong gulong?

    Had it checked sa Petron Service Station... Dapat change na ng spare tire kaya lang iba rim ng spare... So nilipat lang yung ocho sa likod.

    Kaya ba sa vulcanizing shop yung ganung case para ma-correct?

    Which is out of round, the wheel or the tire? For low speeds, out of round wheels or tires will generally work. But anything above 60kph (a speed I drive in even during a regular commute) is potentially dangerous. Not only due to the potential of a blow out but also because of the altered handling characteristics of the vehicle and potential longer stopping distances due to the out of round wheel/tire.

    Out of round tires cannot be corrected. Out of round wheels can be machine pressed to a certain degree.

    naku ganun ba dun? pero obviously oblong talaga rim ko. although pinipilit nila ko nun na pati yung ibang gulong eh ipaayos na din. buti wala akong pera nun kaya yun lang napaayos ko.

    Ride ako sa thread na to.

    How can you tell if your tire is oblong or out of round? Our driver had the car aligned and camber, the mechanic said that the tires are oblong? Need to know how to verify as this car is always on the highway.

    I dont feel vibrations or hear the tire. But my sounds can mask any tire sounds.
